Do What I Say, Not What I Do Advice From a Successful Businesswoman

Do What I Say, Not What I Do Advice From a Successful Businesswoman Young entrepreneurs and aspiring executives tend to have a hard time taking older business professionals’ advice â€" and I understand why. The environment was incredibly different when I started my career: College grads were relatively few and far between, so there was plenty of opportunity for a gal like me, equipped with a bachelor’s degree and eager to work. The internet was new, and small businesses could grow massive with just a small amount of innovation. Finally, business leaders had much different reactions to non-typical workers â€" i.e., women and people of colour â€" than they do today. In some ways, it was much easier for me to find success; in others, the odds were stacked against me in ways young women and men will never comprehend. As I look back on my career, I have recognized many of the opportunities I missed â€" opportunities that young workers in the current business climate cannot. If you are searching desperately for a path to success, you definitely shouldn’t do what I did. Here’s what to do instead. Expand Your Possibilities I am currently working in the same field as my first job so many years ago. In my career, I have changed responsibilities, changed titles and positions, and changed employers â€" but I have never migrated to a new industry or field. On one hand, this strategy allowed me to accumulate extensive industry experience; on the other hand, I was supremely lucky that there was always space for me to move up. It is by far safer and smarter to diversify your skills and knowledge, so you won’t be pigeonholed into one industry. Before your career begins â€" if you have the luxury of time â€" you should consider interning in a variety of fields or shadowing diverse professionals to gain a more thorough understanding of different industries. Additionally, you should obtain credentials that make you attractive to essentially any field. For example, you can earn an MBA, with no GMAT score required while you decide where your career should start. Then, you will be better positioned for higher-level employment and better equipped with skills that apply to every organization. Assess Your Progress My career goals were always vague: reach success, make it to the top, earn authority and prestige, be comfortable and confident. Because of this, in my early and middle years, I never felt successful. I would look at where I was in that moment, compare it to my unclear aims, and be utterly unsatisfied. It wasn’t until recently that I looked back on my career path, on what I had accomplished, and felt triumphant. My first mistake was failing to make quantitative career goals. From the start, you should write down your goals, in a journal or some other permanent place, and use specific wording to make the goal line clear. Then, you must be diligent about documenting your career â€" for your own benefit as well as your employers’. You should have a file that catalogues your employment history, including major and minor achievements at each job, so you have concrete evidence that you have made an impact at previous workplaces. This allows you to tell your story truthfully and in its entirety, especially to yourself, who is likely your harshest critic. Rely on Others When I began my career, there were precious few female role models in business, so I looked to men to learn proper behaviour. Unfortunately, men in that era were restrained by their own masculinity, so alongside useful habits for establishing authority and ensuring confidence, I also gained the ignoble custom of refusing help, even when I needed it. Cooperation is innate in women, and quashing that drive will only hurt you in your career. In fact, you should feel comfortable relying on others, especially when they volunteer their aid. Mentors and career sponsors can introduce you to valuable contacts and guide you through tricky career manoeuvres; co-workers can support you and teach you invaluable career lessons; and eventually, employees and subordinates will help you make your name. You can’t do everything alone, so you should accept help when it comes. Find Satisfaction Elsewhere There were several times during my career when I felt unsatisfied. However, instead of evaluating what, exactly, was missing in my life, I assumed I was simply slacking at work and threw myself more thoroughly into my career. You may love your job. You may see career success as the ultimate success. Still, you shouldn’t live and die by the status of your career. When you clock out of work â€" and you should clock out â€" you should have something worthwhile at home, be it a loving pet or a loving partner. You should have hobbies, friendships, and other valuable diversions to take your mind off work for just a bit. You deserve that.

Do Quitters Win The Truth about Quitting Jobs and Your Pay

Do Quitters Win The Truth about Quitting Jobs and Your Pay A few weeks ago I had some dinner guests over at my home in Montana. Somehow the conversation veered toward work, and one of them mentioned that his father, who is now in his 60s, has worked for the same company since he finished high school.“Seriously? That’s crazy!” I responded.The table immediately split between those who, like me, thought it was shocking that a person would have a job their whole life, and those who thought it was shocking that we were shocked.evalInterestingly, it was divided geographically. Three of the people at the table were Midwesterners who had worked for the same large companies sincetheyhad finished high school. Not only did they think a lifetime at a company was normal, but they found it strange that I’ve literally quit so many jobs at so many companies that I can’t remember them all.The number is somewhere around 15-17, depending on what I count.Is job hopping easier in the West?evalPhoto Credit â€" english-online.atAfter that dinner, I thoug ht on this a bit, and talked to my brother about it.He and I both grew up in the Midwest, but have lived in the western U.S. for the better part of the last two decades.As we talked, we both recalled this Midwestern virtue we’d perceived of sticking with a company for as long as possible.We didn’t notice until now, but in the western U.S. this virtue kind of evaporated. I haven’t been able to find any statistics to support this idea â€" while the BLS collects data on employee tenure, they don’t appear to slice it by state or region.But I’ve lived all over the west during the last 20 years, and have never noticed a cultural affinity toward sticking with one particular company. I think this is partly because large corporate businesses are relatively new here, compared to the Midwest.Talking to my brother, we decided that we tended to job hop both because it was culturally acceptable, and because we get bored easily.evalBut what we really wondered was whether it was a good or bad thing. Were we missing out on something by bouncing from job to job so often?The surprising truth about quitting and salariesWe soon foundthis articlein Forbes showing that it isn’t just a little better to hop jobs every couple years. It’sreallybeneficial to your bank account. Conservative estimates showed that people who change jobs every two years make50 percent morethan their job loyal counterparts.Why?The article points to recession era caps on raises that stuck them between 3 and 5 percent at most companies. Unsurprisingly, after the recession these caps didn’t magically go away. So if you stay at a company it’s likely thatyour raisescan never exceed 5 percent of your current salary per year, no matter how much more you deserve.evalIf you jump companies, you break this barrier. On top of that, you enter terrain that is particularly favorable to job seekers right now.The U.S. currently has more job openings going unfilled than ever in its history, combined with the lowest unemployment rate in 10 years.But I’ve got a hunch that there’s also something psychological going on here.If you’re a great hire, out on the market, and you’ve got several companies competing for you, scarcity and people’s egos are on your side. A hiring manager naturally wants to “win” by beating rivals at other companies for a chance to grab a great candidate, and they’re afraid of missing out on a valuable option that will soon be gone.But once you’ve been hired, the company has you. You’re not scarce anymore, and now a manager’s ego may be telling them that “winning” means negotiating the smallest pay raise possible out of you each year, rather than trying to beat competitors on the market.So, should you quit your job?Probably. But hey, I don’t know you, and I’ve clearly got a high tolerance for the risks of quitting.There area lot of complicated things to take into account. If you’ve got a solid long term career plan, and the job you have fits into it nicely, it may be worth holding onto for a while.Also, you’ve got to assign some value to having a job you really like. If the people you work with are good, and day to day life on the job is enjoyable, that’s worth something. If you get a raise by moving to a company that stresses you out and makes day-to-day life hell, you probably won’t be happier.I would say though, if you’re at a job that doesn’t have much potential for career growth, that you don’t actively enjoy going to, and your pay has hit an arbitrary growth cap, you should be on the job hunt.evalAs I mentioned earlier, it’s a great time to look for jobs, and you’ve really got nothing to lose by putting yourself out there and seeing what kind of offers you get.Ok, where do I sign up?Ready to start looking? As I mentioned, now is a great time to look. Betterteam put togetherthis great list of job boardsand career blogs that’ll help you get the intel you need.Beyond that, I’d recommend doin g research of your own. How in demand is your job? What is the market rate for it?You can find out by going to the BLSOccupational Outlook Handbookand searching for your job.This will give you the job growth outlook and median pay, as well as other valuable statistics about the job.evalIf you’ve been at the same job at the same company for a long time, it might be interesting to see how your current pay compares to the market rate.After that, I’d start by giving your LinkedIn page and resume an overhaul. It’s possible that just by updating your LinkedIn profile, you’ll get contacted by recruiters.Next, I would go to Glassdoor and do a search for the job you’re interested in to see what kind of ratings companies get. As I mentioned, you don’t want to get a pay raise but end up working for a tyrant.Glassdoor allows employees to rate the companies they work for and leave detailed feedback. Look for top rated companies that are hiring for your job, and see what people have t o say about them. Just about every company will have something listed as “cons” of working there. Are these ones you can live with?If you find a company that’s a really great match, do some more research about them online. See what current and former employees say on LinkedIn and Twitter. If everything points to a positive company to work for, go for it.If this doesn’t work, you can always start searching for jobs on big boards like Indeed, but I’d start by looking for companies you want to work for, rather than hoping good companies find you.evalNegotiating your new salaryMost good hiring managers and recruiters are going to ask you a very pointed, perhaps uncomfortable set of questions during your first interview.They’ll want to know how much you’re making now, and what you’re expecting to make with them.If your salary has been held down by artificial caps for 10 years, you’re probably going to give them a number that’s below market rate, which could make it di fficult to negotiate the pay you actually want.First off, don’t lie about your current pay. Ultimately it will come back to bite you.Most recruiters and hiring managers will be aware of why your salary is below market, and will expect this to some degree.To get a salary at or above market, be ready to explain in detail why you’re worth what you are. Talk about your experience and abilities you can bring to the company, and why they put you at or above the rest of the crowd.Ready, set quit!Or don’t. But I think that most people who have been at a job for more than two years, and feel that their salary has been capped, should at least be checking to see what the market has to offer them. I hope this helps you get started.

This exercise lasts for approximately 10 minutes.The Virtual Reality Exercise essentially requires you to work in a coordinated fashion with an other candidate, to resolve a problem. One person will wear a VR headset, which will place them in a particular environment â€" such as a set of rooms. The other person will use their iPad, which contains a map/picture of how the room should look.One person will play the role of control and the other person will play the role of ground. Together you will need to decide which of you will play which role. You won’t be marked on this conversation, but you will need to have the conversation in front of the assessors. The two roles are as follows:Control’s job is to provide key information and navigational help to Ground. You will essentially need to guide Ground around the room/virtual reality environment, helping them to reach the finishing marker.Ground’s role is to verbally relay what they can see using the virtual reality headset, to Control.How Is The VR Test Structured?#row-1821021957.col.col-inner{background-color:rgb(227,254,0)}First of all, you’ll be briefed on the oper ation. For example, you’ll be told that you are visiting the scene of a suspected burglary.Both participants will sit down. Ground will be given a virtual reality headset, and can then move and turn to see a more detailed view of the room that the headset depicts. Ground will be given very limited info about exactly where they are and what should be in the rooms. Control will be given an iPad which shows a detailed map or picture of how the room should look.There will be deliberate differences between how the room is meant to look on the iPad, and what Ground sees using the virtual reality headset. The two candidates will be expected to communicate and remember these differences. Furthermore, Control will be given a list of items on their iPad, detailing items that should be present within the room, and also information about the location where Ground is. Control will be expected to communicate these to Ground. #image_6537130{width:100%}What Does The Police VR Assessment Test?#r ow-1665969141.col.col-inner{background-color:rgb(227,254,0)}The Virtual Reality Exercise is a direct test of your teamwork skills, and your communication abilities. Both candidates need to work together to pass the test, and will need to be constantly communicating clearly and effectively with each other.Where Can I Learn More Practice The Police VR Assessment?#row-1956346542.col.col-inner{background-color:rgb(227,254,0)}#section_1925564970{padding-top:30px;padding-bottom:30px}Want Complete Police VR Exercise Practice?

Are Executive Business Cards Still Effective

Are Executive Business Cards Still Effective Having a digital presence in today’s business world is invaluable. However, some people only focus on improving their digital brand, which is a big mistake. Business cards have been effective since the beginning of time, and it hasn’t changed. Technology has made certain things easier for executives, but there are also plenty of challenges if you solely rely on it. Focusing on writing an executive bio on your LinkedIn page is great, but you still need a business card for people to find you. Here are some important points to consider when it comes to business cards for executives. Business Cards Are Still Respected Whether you’re at a formal networking event, or you just happen to meet someone in passing, they may ask you for your business card. And if you don’t have one, your credibility is going to take a hit. Trading business cards is still expected for executives, so do yourself a favor and always have several handy. This practice is one of the most respected and expected methods of trading information, so you could be the talk of the event in a negative way if you don’t have a business card to offer. Be Careful Going Completely Digital When you learn how to optimize your LinkedIn profile, it can be easy to go completely digital in your networking efforts. The truth is other professionals want to have your information readily available at all times, rather than searching for you on LinkedIn. Even if you have your LinkedIn URL on your business card, it’s still more effective handing them a business card than just saying “look me up on LinkedIn for all the information you need.” Accuracy Is Never A Question With A Business Card If you verbally give someone your email address or phone number to write down, the chances of them transposing numbers or not spelling your name correctly increases. But when you have the information on a business card, accuracy is never a question. Similar to writing an executive bio, being clear and concise with the information displayed on your business card is invaluable and can improve your brand even more so than your LinkedIn profile. Professional Resume Services is an executive resume service dedicated to helping professionals with their resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles and even business cards. Whether you need help simply writing an executive bio or need to start drafting a resume from scratch, feel free to contact us at any time for assistance.

Beth and Howard Stern How Theyre Saving Hundreds of Cats

Beth and Howard Stern How They're Saving Hundreds of Cats No matter where Beth and Howard Stern decide to sleep at night â€" their Long Island house, their New York City apartment, or their Palm Beach vacation home â€" they always have at least one cat to snuggle up with. Or more than a dozen. Beth Stern, a former model, says she and her radio-show-host husband have saved at least 500 cats and kittens since 2013, when Beth adopted the couple’s first litter just before they were about to be euthanized. “It’s a full-time job,” Beth Stern told MONEY about caring for the array of furry critters at the makeshift shelters she’s set up in her various homes. “Thank god my husband is still working, because there’s just no break.” Yes, Howard Stern, typically known as Sirius XM’s outspoken shock jock, spends much of his free time as the ultimate cat man â€" grooming them, socializing them, naming them and even cleaning their litter boxes. “He’s really, really involved. I believe that I can say he loves it as much as I do.” Beth Stern said of her husband of nearly a decade. “The kittens love his hair,” she added. View this post on Instagram The scene A post shared by Beth Stern (@bethostern) on Sep 3, 2017 at 4:18pm PDT The Sterns cat-fostering venture started four years ago after their beloved dog, Bianca, passed away. Beth â€" a longtime animal advocate who has been working with North Shore Animal League America, the world’s largest no-kill shelter, for more than a decade â€" had stopped by a local high-kill shelter and couldn’t help but feel sorry for all the cats trapped in cages. “It’s just overwhelming how many cats are there,” she recalled thinking. “I feel like cats need help. We need to bring awareness to how great of a pet cats are.” Beth immediately knew they could help. They certainly had the money and the space â€" Howard was named Forbes’ richest radio show host of 2016 and earned $90 million last year. Beth had been building her Instagram presence, where she now has more than 367,000 loyal cat lovers who help find her foster’s homes. And they had Howard’s popular show, during which he frequently mentions their cats. “I remember being so sad. I got so attached to them,” Beth Stern said. “I immediately went into the nursery and grabbed another litter of kittens and a mama cat and her babies.” And that quickly became her routine. Instagram has now become Beth’s main mode of getting her foster cats (including cats with disabilities and senior kitties) into loving homes â€" sharing their stories and cataloging their daily routines with frequent updates to her feline-friendly following. Earlier this week, Stern had what she said was her “quickest adoption ever” when she brought a gray-striped kitten with blue eyes named Bailey to her Long Island home and hours later, was in a car bringing him to his new family. View this post on Instagram And the fastest adoption ever award goes to.... Bailey!!! A pre-approved adopter wants him and I’m delivering this nugget right now! Stay tuned for pic!! #todayisforeverfamilyday ???? (he was found crying in the bushes of @lion_king_kitties adopter and she brought him to Long Island Vets for a week of TLC) He’s sooo yummy. #teamwork @animalleague A post shared by Beth Stern (@bethostern) on Oct 25, 2017 at 10:20am PDT Bailey got the same send off the Sterns give every single one of their fosters. Beth hand-delivers the cats to their new human parents â€" already spayed or neutered â€" with everything they would need to care for the cat including food, a litter box and the cats’ favorite toys from their time with her. And Beth usually creates an Instagram account for each of them so people (Beth included) can follow their journey. “We are fortunate that we can pay for everything,” she said. “We give them everything they would need. It pretty much looks like my foster room once we give the kitten to their forever family.” Beth wouldn’t specify how much they spend on their rescue efforts, but she admitted it was “a lot.” The ASPCA estimates that owning a cat, especially during the first year, costs around $1,000 a year â€" meaning the lowest estimate for the Stern’s four-year venture in cat fostering is $500,000. Aside from their five resident cats (including two blind cats and a kitten-loving Persian named Yoda suffering from a heart ailment), the Sterns currently have cats of all different ages including Mama Honey and her four “nuggets,” half-a-dozen kittens (including some hurricane rescues), 6-year-old Jimmy, and her newest addition, 15-year-old Peanut. “Even when the house is full, there’s never a question, Howard tells me to just go get more if they need us. There was a time where all the bathrooms and guest rooms were full,” Beth Stern said. The couple has three designated foster rooms, with even more cats currently living in their two spare bedrooms and bathrooms. View this post on Instagram I need some positive love sent my way. I’m angry. I’m sad. I’m nervous as heck. I just picked up a 15+ yr old female kitty. Her name has been Peanut for so many years that we don’t have the heart to change it. Her human moved and her fiancé is allergic. No family member or friend wanted an old cat. That’s why she’s with me. Peanut also has no teeth, is deaf breathes so loudly..and did I mention she’s also in early stages of kidney disease? I’m sure this is not going to be easy finding her a forever home. The good news? She loves other cats. #help #welcomepeanut #imcryingoverhere #anyonehaveroomintheirheartsforpeanut #utterlyheartbreaking #newseniorfoster ps. Did I ever mention I’m allergic to cats? #yep A post shared by Beth Stern (@bethostern) on Oct 22, 2017 at 3:13pm PDT View this post on Instagram Mama snuck back in with her babies. They all look guilty. #caughtintheact #honeynuggets?? #bigbabies A post shared by Beth Stern (@bethostern) on Oct 21, 2017 at 11:45am PDT One of the latest addition to the Sterns’ family is Angel Pie, a semi-feral tabby cat that recently joined their crew of 17 resident fosters. This isn’t the first time the Sterns have fostered a feral cat â€" they fostered two last year, named Fig and Dumpling. The two tabbies spent months in one of Stern’s bathrooms, where she tried to connect with them using treats and toys. But it wasn’t easy. “There were times where I was just crying. Got my face scratched. I got bitten,” Beth said. “One day, they just had a turn around. I was able to touch them. Then I heard a purr.” Fig and Dumpling eventually joined one of Beth’s foster rooms and became friendly with some of her other fosters and resident kitties. They were adopted earlier this year by a cat-experienced couple. “It was the most exciting, rewarding experience turning feral cats into lap cats,” Beth said. “They’re lap cats now. Their owner can’t even go to the bathroom in peace.” She’s hopeful that Angel Pie will turn out similarly, but she knows it will be a challenge. Still, despite her chronic backache from scooping kitty litter and emotional nights when a kitten is sick or doesn’t make it, it’s cats like Fig and Dumpling that keep Beth and Howard Stern doing the hard work of saving so many animals. “It’s why I keep going,” she said. “Kittens are the best therapy.” Correction: The original version of this story stated that Howard Stern’s net worth was $90 million. He earned $90 million in 2016, according to Forbes.
